people calling every tactic to keep users more engaged a dark pattern these days is giving me teenagers using therapy speak in wrong ways vibes

âStreaksâ are shitty dark patterns IMO.

I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. Thatâs basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of âthis is your longest streak in the past <time period>â or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.

I believe you can get a users longest streak from the public API end point. IIRC itâs something like
duolingo.com/users/{username}
but itâs been a few years

Yeah but at least the interests of the user and duolingo are somewhat aligned in this case

I liked it because it was a learning app and I have a tendency to fall off. But paying real money to restore my streak? Hell nah
